Next Hop
This is the IP address of the node that is the next stop for a packet en
route to its destination address. The next hop must be directly
connected to the interface for which this route is defined.
•
Mask
This is the subnet mask associated with the destination address entry.
•
Type
This field indicates whether the destination address is directly connected
to this interface. The valid values are:
− Direct
− Indirect
− Other
− Invalid
•
Port
This field specifies the logical port on which the packets should be
forwarded.
•

This field indicates the cost of the route to its destination. A value of 16

to the table whereas the other three entries are automatically learned by the
Multiprotocol Interconnect module.
8. Optionally, you may specify one or more entries in the ARP table to be used
by the Multiprotocol Interconnect module to resolve IP addresses to the
correct MAC address. To do so, you must select
IP Net To Media Table
from
the
IP Menu
. An example of the resulting panel is shown in Figure 166 on
page 286.
